I can remember well the autumn of 1976 when the #callaghan government made a deal with the #imf when it would have wiser to wait for the #us administration to change - not my view only! #callaghan had a perniciously arrogant son in law - #peterjay - who was a hard line #monetarist and #neoliberal and had undue influence at the time. Eventually the daughter acquired a much better husband! However at least that #labourparty allowed vigorous internal discussion!
